    Exploring with porn is okay, but always remember that porn is not sex. Never judge sex by the standards you see in porn.

    Not really a bad thing, no. As long as you differentiate between pornography and real life relations.

    I agree, don't judge your sexuality on just porn. If you have noticed other things like attractions to men etc in real life then yes, you are possibly gay/bisexual :slight_smile:

    I was about 14 when I looked at porn. Personally i more prefer erotica. Since it is acting it gives you a false sense of what is pleasurable. A lot of the really kinky stuff probably has those actors shaking at the end of the shoot.

    It will give you a sense of what turns you on, but not a good sense of romantic orientation.

    Discovering that intial little bit is fine, but sexuality is a little bit more complex than what you like to look at. A situation that seems amazing in porn may not live up to your expectations. Remember that porn is acting, and that movies often relay inaccurate representations of how the real thing is done.

    About the age thing: technically, it's most likely illegal (I'm unfamiliar with UK laws and social mores). However, many people have gone through the same thing at young ages and very few people will judge you too harshly. It's human nature, despite the laws and attitudes people try to pass. Don't worry about it too much, but be careful.

    Yeah it's fine, but I find who you are romanticly attracted to a better clue.

    nope, if you get a hard on, when you happen to watch straight porn and put more focus into the guy, congratulations, you might be gay. i could agree it's one way to find out easy, but there's a bit more to it, it might be a sexual thing and not emotionally and mentally thing , so who knows? it's perfectly normal way to discover your sexuality.

    I agree with this entirely.

    Also, keep in mind that what type of porn you like to watch doesn't necessarily dictate attraction or orientation. I know several straight women who enjoy watching lesbian porn. Watching it turns them on, but they don't have any desire to be with women. People of any orientation could enjoy porn involving any combination of genders. It depends on the person!

    So feel free to explore, but remember that it's not the be all end all of your identity.
